invent-ion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Thisinvention relates to nea1 and useful improvements in laundry apparatus and especially in the provision of a. washer of the cylindrical type for use in laundries, etc., and consists of a simple4 and efficient device of this nature', having vario-us details of con struction, combination and arrangement of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which: 1

Figure l is across sectional view through a cylindrical washer. Fig. 2 is a, sectional view on line 2 2 of Figui. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view showing a modified form of the washer. Fig. Li is a detail vie-w showing a still different modified form of the apparatus, and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the slats.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a cylinder to which a lid B is hinged and which is adapted to be rotated in any suitable manner, not' shown. The inner surface of the cylinder is provided with a series of slats D, having angled wings D which are bent toward each other. as shown in the secf Specification of Letters Yatent.

tional view of the-drawings, and terminate in rolls E, each of which. is adaptedto carry a rod E', mediate said wings have projecting parts D2 which are fastened to the ends of the Cylinder, the spaces between the ends ofthe slats being open in order to allow water to freely enter the cylinder.

In operation, theclothes are placed inside the cylinder, the latter resting preferably in the water a suitable depth and, when the cylinder is rotated in either direction, continuously or alternating by reverse gears not shown, the slats will pick up the water, carrying it to the upper portion of the washer before it is poured back upon the clot-hes. properly shaped will pick up the water and carry it to the upper portion of the cylin- The slats heilig spaced apart and The portions ofthe slats interder, thus causing a thorough agitation of the water by its being poured inside and outside through the clothes, the same time that the clothes are agitated in the cylinden` This operation will Aforce the suds through the clothes, thus thoroughly and quickly cleansing the same.

lVhat I claim to be new is A cylindrical washer having a series of metallic slats secured to the inner circumferential surface thereof, each slat having oppositely disposed wings projecting from the edges thereof slight distances from the ends. each wing being bent at right angles toward each other, forming a contracted v passageway intermediate the angles, the outer ends of the wings terminating in rolls with contracted spaces between the rolls upon adjacent slats. v

In testimony whereof I hereunto aliix my signature in presence of a witness.
